Ignoring for a moment the right of an occupied people to resist their oppression: “Hamas” does not include all Palestinians or all residents of Gaza. There are innocent civilians in Gaza, and collective punishment is against international law.
But back to that right: could you please point to an example of an oppressed people successfully freeing themselves non-violently?
Not a single time in the history of anthropology has oppression been resolved “non-violently”. Oppression requires violence and force to keep it intact. Compliance is required or they will make you missing sometimes even your family to reinforce oppressed populations consequences.
Back in 2018 the world got to shake its head and move on as Palestinians marched in protest against the Israeli occupation. It was great target practice for the IDF as they got to shoot thousands of protestors, medics and journalists. Palestinians should keep doing this until the world shakes its head so hard that Israel will start feeling bad for killing people that they don’t consider people.
